For some reason, I neglected to take many pictures on this day. As I mentioned before, the decision to go to New Zealand during the off-season came from our hope to save some cash and also out of necessity due to our schedules.
While this meant that there was a LOT of rain (I think it rained at least a little bit each day), it also meant that there were a TON of rainbows and waterfalls. Plus it felt especially glorious when the sun came out and the sky cleared.
(Double Rainbow! Also, Wolfie enjoying the view)
(Seriously huge waterfalls everywhere)
The first thing Man Boo and I did when we arrived in Queenstown was to stop at Fergbaker for some tasty pasties. Totally yummy and highly recommended if any of you are ever in Queenstown. That night we headed up the Skyline for dinner and a Kiwi Haka show. Fortunately, no pictures were taken as both Jamie and I had to go on stage to demonstrate various Maori dances...my nightmare and Jamie's dream. Sort of like the time Jamie was that "guy-in-a-box" at the Cirque Du Soleil show in Vegas and became a mini-celebrity for the night when random people kept recognizing him despite the fact that I was the one who had to be in the spotlight and the butt of the joke.
We woke up to this view directly outside our window...
...and started our trek to Milford Sound.
